Letting the fuel warning light come on frequently will cause more harm than you think. AS AUTO will tell you 3 reasons why you should refuel before the warning light comes on. Let's see what they are.
1. The fuel pump is likely damaged.
The fuel pump is responsible for drawing fuel from the tank to the engine. When the fuel level is low, the fuel pump works harder because it operates in dry conditions. This can cause the fuel pump to overheat and be easily damaged. Keeping the fuel tank adequately filled will help the fuel pump operate efficiently and extend its service life.
2. Air bubbles may be present in the fuel delivery pipe.
When the fuel tank level is low, air bubbles may enter the fuel delivery system. These air bubbles can damage the fuel injector, causing engine malfunction and vibrations that may cause long-term engine damage.
3. The car may stall on the road.
Waiting until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling may cause your car to stall in the middle of the road. Refueling before the fuel runs out will help ensure your car can travel safely.
For these reasons, you should refuel before the warning light comes on the dashboard. This will help prevent potential fuel system problems.
